zines, especially  “The  Survey,”  May  3,  1913.  Lived  in  East  side  in 
New  York  to  study  people.  One  of  the  first  artists  to  reflect  in  her

picted East  side  life  in  dancing  figures,  “Rag  Picker,”  “Little  Moth-

over  again.  Is  a fiery  worker  after  the  beautiful.  Portrays  pride, 
fear,  envy  and  passions.  Has  a unique  mixture  of  cultures,  worlds

Hunchback,”  “Two  Clouds,”  “The  Cliff,”  “Rhapsody.”  Exhibited  in
